    摘要: The present invention provides a method and a system for remote imaging of explosive gases in an area. The method comprises: illuminating the area with a light source having a uniform light intensity distribution over an infrared wavelength range; acquiring images of the illuminated area with an image sensor through gas detection filters having bandpass central wavelength corresponding to absorption curves of target gases respectively; determining existence of the target gases based on the acquired images; predicting distribution of gas concertation for existing target gases respectively by using a non-linear prediction model; and constructing gas distribution images of the area based on the predicted distribution of gas concertation. The present invention can recognize different gases with overlapping absorption curves and provide more accurate prediction of gas concentrations.

    摘要: A method for optimizing a workflow-based neural network including an attention layer is provided. The method comprises: training the workflow-based neural network to predict a result from input elements under a prediction model with the attention layer assigning attention placements and weights, based on an original attention function, to the input elements; obtaining an original attention mask pattern and a proposed attention mask pattern; creating an attention mask updating function based on the original attention mask pattern and the proposed attention mask pattern; and combining the attention mask updating function with the original attention function to form an updated attention function.

    摘要: A level shifter circuit uses standard n-channel and p-channel transistors except for a pair of Lateral-Diffusion Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (LDMOS) transistors that have an added lateral diffusion under the gate between the source and the conduction channel, increasing the breakdown voltage. The source of each LDMOS transistor connects to a drain of a transient differential transistor that has its gate driven by a oneshot that generates a pulse after an input transition. After the pulse ends a holding differential transistor draws a smaller bias current from the LDMOS transistors. The source of each LDMOS transistor connects to the drain and gate of a p-channel sensing transistor that drives gates of mirror transistors generating mirrored currents to cross-coupled n-channel mirror transistors that drive both terminals of a bistable latch that holds the output using a floating ground between driver transistors of a Buck converter switched by the bistable latch.

    摘要: A line-scanning three-dimensional sensing system measures a surface profile of an object. In the system, a dispersion optical module (DOM) performs a forward optical process of chromatically dispersing a polychromatic linear light beam into constituent narrowband linear light beams (CNLLBs) and focusing the CNLLBs on different focal planes to form a rainbow light pattern for illuminating a scanned surface of the object. The illuminated object displays an information-bearing color image (IBCI) containing height information of the scanned surface. The DOM captures the IBCI, and performs a backward optical process of optically condensing the captured IBCI to form an elongated light pattern. The backward optical process is an inverse of the forward one. A slit spatially filters the elongated light pattern to form an output light line. A height profile of the scanned surface is obtained by analyzing a spectral content at each point of the output light line.

    摘要: Computer implemented methods and computerized apparatus are provided for global registration between a first point cloud and a second point cloud obtained by a scanning device on an identical spatial scene at two separate instances. The method comprises extracting a first set of discriminative line-pairs from the first point cloud and a second set of discriminative line-pairs from the second point cloud, wherein a discriminative line-pair is a line-pair having high discriminative power compared to a randomly selected line-pair. In some embodiments, then a plurality of matching line-pair groups between the two sets of discriminative line-pairs are identified in accordance with one thresholding criterion related to between-line relationship, line geometry and line location; and a compass angle criterion related to compass errors of the scanning device. The method further comprises finding most reliable correspondence between the two point clouds by voting and then computing a global transformation matrix. Finally, the global transformation matrix is used to align the two point clouds. Embodiments of the present invention provide an accurate and efficient registration especially for building construction applications.

    摘要: A module has electronic components mounted to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with multiple patterned conductive layers connecting to conductive slot metal around a conductive slot. A groove is cut through a top molding encapsulant above and into the conductive slot but does not cut through a bottom molding encapsulant. A terminal pin is inserted into the groove and pushed down into the conductive slot. When heated, embedded solder previously applied to the conductive slot metal flows between the end of the terminal pin and the conductive slot metal to form a solder bond. An end of the PCB past the conductive slot has no metal traces, preventing shorts. Epoxy can be placed into the groove around the terminal pin or a hole formed in the terminal pin to increase strength of the anchored terminal pin. The molding around the groove protects terminal pins from shorting from the side.
